Shetty said that he made Cirkus during the pandemic keeping the audience in mind at the time. “I know what we did. We, obviously, went wrong somewhere. It was made right after Sooryavanshi and in the middle of the pandemic for the workers. It was a small film meant for the audience of that time,” the filmmaker said to India Today.

The filmmaker added that it was the same audience that made Sooryavanshi a hit during the pandemic. He said that he takes ownership of the failure and such failures ground you. “Every 5 years, you are grounded by such failures,” he said.

Meanwhile, Rohit Shetty will also make his digital debut with web series Indian Police Force starring Sidharth Malhotra, Shilpa Shetty and Vivek Oberoi. He has Singham Again with Ajay Devgn and Deepika Padukone.
